Housing Complex C – Episode 1
While I do think the creators want to say something meaningful about xenophobia and colonial violence, the show mostly feels like a B-tier horror movie with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

Shaman King – Episode 1
A fast-paced premiere can be attention-grabbing and entertaining, but this episode felt like it was desperate to keep its audience around so they decided to throw an introductory narrative out the window in favor of just letting the plot happen. This show definitely feels like an early 2000s show, but instead of feeling nostalgic, I’m left wondering who all these characters are and why should I care.
